Progressively Crazier - Episode 359 - The Knitmore Girls

Listen here:

This week's episode is sponsored by:

You probably attend an event at least once a year. Sometimes events are all about shopping, but more often than not, events are a combination of shopping and education. When attending a show that combines classes and market place, shopping literally becomes dashes between classes. Time is short that your plan includes the necessary pit stop (crossing your fingers for short lines) and visits to my favorite or new vendor spot.
As a vendor, we do our best to bring the right amount of scents and products. We are thrilled when we have the product or scent you are looking for, but sometimes there is a sudden run on your favorite scent or product and the person in front of you just bought the last one. Being left wanting after waiting just stinks!
Wait and want no more because we've created the Easy Peasy Product Reservation. It's so simple and fast, you’ll LOVE the experience!
Go to our web site: www.Bar-Maids.com for directions, and we'll even text you a reminder during the event!

about what we do with the leftover ends of bobbins.

When Knitting Attacks:(35:07)

Gigi was attacked by standard vs metric. She knitted four inches instead of four centimeters for the headband of her Perennial.

Just an interesting tidbit about button closures, not logical, but cute. When I worked in theatre costuming we always remembered which side the buttons go on with little saying, "Women are always right and men or left over." Nothing personal guys. Just a play on words, it could have just as easily gone the other way had the buttons closure tradition been reversed.
